A salt-dependent DNA polymerase activity was demonstrated in the culture of an EBV-producing, lymphoblastoid cell line (NPC-204 cells) treated with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR). There was a high frequency of levels of antibody to this enzyme in sera of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) open reading frame BHRF1, a homologue of the oncogene bcl-2, was cloned from a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The resulting recombinant BHRF1 fusion protein, with an apparent molecular weight of 35 KD, was used as antig
## Abstract Antibodyβdependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) was performed on serum samples from African patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) to determine whether antibody titers determined by this assay might be of prognostic value in this disease. The serum donors were divided into two gro
Nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPCs) of non-keratinizing type are strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV and its gene products induce the synthesis and/or release of transforming growth factor β€1 (TGF-β€1) from human cells and platelets. TGF-β€1 is an immunosuppressive cytokine, and many t
## Abstract The EpsteinβBarr virus nuclear antigen I (EBNA I) is the only latent EBV antigen consistently expressed in malignant tissues of the nasopharynx. A 20βaminoβacid synthetic peptide, p107 contains a major epitope of EBNA I. We tested sera from 210 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NP
